eyebrow pencil for oily skin?

I've finally decided to bite the bullet and give it a go after years of thinning, fading brows thanks to underactive thyroid... my skin is quite oily so I basically need something invincible! Does such a pencil exist? ie smudge proof, rub proof, won't drift or transfer..waterproof..

Powder would be best I think.
I'm trying to grow mine thicker after years if over plucking and find powder more natural.

mine won't ever grow back... plucked about 15 years ago and they've not seen tweezers since.. they are weedy and i've lost the outers to them... which is a sign of underactive thyroid apparently.. i take thyroxine but they never came back. i just want to look natural and groomed.. not anything obvious..but eyeliner doesn't last five minutes on me... my brows would be drier but not great

I have really oily skin and use Art Deco eye pencil. Stays put.

use pencil set with powder

Instant brow by Benefit is great. It's a pencil but dries to a powdery/waxy consistency. Stays put all day!

not sure about pencil set with powder as this certainly doesn't work on my eyes..it budges and smears very quickly...of course, brows are a bit drier..my lids are oily.. is Instant Brow natural looking ? does it feel light?

Yeah it looks really natural and has a great little brush that comes with it. So quick to apply aswell. You can't feel it on your eyebrows but if you were to touch them they feel nicely 'set', if you see what I mean Smile
